Students Take to the Plant

We had the pleasure of working in the plant with four UW-Madison Food Science students this fall! They helped create a Babcock Dairy ice cream flavor by developing a formula for the mix, working the assembly line in the plant, as well as conducting quality control and sensory analysis tests.

Maya Warren and Amy DeJong work right here in Babcock Hall, so we'd like to congratulate them on their huge accomplishment with a new, celebratory ice cream flavor: AMAZING RACEcream! Thank you to everyone who submitted name ideas, especially Chris Thomas of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, whose suggestion was chosen.
